Android Studio 3 / Java 8 Compatibility Issues

See original GitHub issue

The .aar file as published and distributed on official maven/jcenter repositories is incorrectly packaged. The android res files should be in a directory hierarchy. Instead the .aar file contains entries like these:

res\layout\activity_authentication.xml
res\layout\dialog_authentication.xml
...

The \ char is in the entry name itself, not a directory path separator.

Just for fun in my project build.gradle I replaced

implementation('com.microsoft.aad:adal:1.13.2')

with

implementation('com.github.AzureAD:azure-activedirectory-library-for-android:v1.13.2')

Basically let https://jitpack.io/ build that aar from github tagged source instead of using the official aar file.

As you could guess this workaround works 😛

The workaround fixes #1015 too. Thanks @tdtran !!
